Last Updated:
2024-12-26 04:02:19The glow of Olivia’s phone illuminates her face as Victor drove them home from the gallery. She stared at the message, her heart pounding hardly in her chest.
"You deserve better than him. Let me show you."
She didn’t need a signature to know it was from Leo. The tone, the audacity… it all pointed to him. Her fingers trembles as she quickly locked her phone, unsure of what to do.
“Olivia?” Victor’s voice broke her thoughts.
She flinched, clutching the phone tightly. “Yes?”
Victor glanced at her briefly, his sharp eyes catching the tension on her face even in the dim light. “You’ve been quiet. Did something happen?”
“No,” she said quickly. “I’m just tired. It’s been a long night.”
Victor didn’t look convinced, but he nodded, focusing on the road ahead. “If something’s bothering you, you can tell me, right?&r

Victor’s hand tightens around the phone as his eyes locked onto Olivia’s. The intensity of his eyes made her throat dry, her thoughts scattering.“Explain this,” he demanded, his voice sharp and cutting, yet creepily calm… a voice that signaled the storm rising within him.Olivia’s heart raced as she struggled to find the right words. “Victor, I…”“Why didn’t you tell me?” His voice rose, cutting through her hesitation like a blade. “You knew he was crossing the line, didn’t you?”“I didn’t want to upset you,” Olivia said quickly, her voice shaking. “I thought I could handle it. I didn’t want to make things worse.”Victor laughed bitterly, pacing the room like a caged lion. “Worse? You think keeping this from me would make things better? Olivia, you really don’t understand.”He paused, running a ha

Victor’s intense eyes locked onto Olivia as they sat in their living room. Ava was asleep upstairs, leaving them alone in the suffocating silence.“You didn’t tell me he came to the gallery before,” Victor said, his voice low but vibrating with controlled anger.“I thought he’d stop,” Olivia admitted, wringing her hands nervously. “I didn’t want to worry you. I thought I could handle it on my own.”Victor leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. “Olivia, you’re my wife. You shouldn’t have to deal with this alone. When something happens, you should tell me.”Olivia’s heart twisted at the frustration in his tone, but she also felt her own frustration rising to the surface. “And what would you have done, Victor? If I told you sooner, you would’ve gone after him. You’re already letting him get in your mind.”Victor stood abruptly, r

Victor’s grip on his phone tightened as he read the message again. The words were cold and taunting, a calculated strike meant to shake him.He paced his study. Who had sent the message? Was it Leo, or was someone else involved? He couldn’t afford to take any chances.Pulling out his phone, he dialed one of his most trusted security advisors. “I want every detail of where that message came from. Trace it, and report back to me immediately.”“Yes, sir,” came the response.Victor’s jaw clenched as he ended the call. This wasn’t just about Leo anymore.Meanwhile, Olivia stood in the gallery, her hands shaking as she arranged the final touches for the event. The gallery was buzzing with pieces from her latest collections.But despite the excitement, an undercurrent of unease rippled through her.

The evening sunlight streams through the large windows of the living room. Olivia sat on the sofa with Ava, her daughter’s giggles filling the air as they worked together on a coloring book. Victor had texted earlier, saying he’d be home early, and Olivia was looking forward to a quiet evening with her family.Ava was busy deciding between a green or purple crayon when the doorbell rang. Olivia glanced at the clock, wondering who could be visiting at this hour. She gets up from her spot and opened the door, she finds Leo standing there with a bouquet of roses in hand and a creepy smile on his face.“Leo? Why are…” she hesitated.“Olivia,” he said smoothly, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. The scent of the roses was overpowering, but what unsettled Olivia even more was his creepy eyes.“I didn’t invite you in,” Olivia said, stepping back.Leo chuckled as if she were jokin

The next morning, Olivia stared at the message on her phone, her hands shaking. The words echoed in her mind: "You’ll be mine, Olivia. At all cost."Victor noticed her pale face as he came out of the kitchen, a cup of coffee in his hand. “What’s wrong?” he asked, rushing to her side.Without a word, Olivia handed him her phone. His expression darkens as he read the message. The muscles in his jaw tightened, and his hand gripped the phone so tightly that Olivia feared he might crush it.“He’s not going to stop,” Olivia whispered, her voice shaky. “What if he…”Victor silenced her by pulling her into a tight embrace. “I won’t let anything happen to you or Ava,” he said. “Leo’s going to pay for this.”Victor immediately called the police and reported the message. By midday, officers were at their home, taking Olivia’s statement. They promise

Victor’s heart was racing, his breaths shallow and uneven. Olivia was gone. The sight of the open window, curtains billowing in the cool night air, sent an icy fear down in his body.He grabbed his phone, dialing the head of the security team stationed outside. “Where the hell were you?” he shouted the moment the call connected. “Someone just took Olivia from our house!”The man on the other end stammers, “W-We didn’t see anyone, sir. The patrol didn’t…”Victor cut him off, his voice cold and furious. “If you didn’t see anything, you weren’t doing your damn job. I want every available unit searching for her. NOW.”He slammed the phone down, his hands trembling. The thought of Olivia in Leo’s hands made his blood boil. He had to find her… and fast.Meanwhile, in the backseat of a speeding car…Olivia’s wrists ached f

The sound of the approaching car grew louder, breaking the silence that had surrounded the isolated cabin. Olivia’s heart pounded as she strained against the ropes binding her to the chair. Hope flickered within her, but it was quickly overshadowed by fear as she caught sight of the knife in Leo’s hand.Leo’s jaw tightens. He dragged the blade across the wooden table, the sound sending shivers down Olivia’s body. “Do you hear that, Olivia?” he asked, his voice low and cold.Olivia didn’t respond, her eyes fixed on the door. She prayed Victor would find her before it was too late.Leo crouched in front of her, his face inches from hers. “He won’t save you,” he whispered. “If he walks through that door, I’ll end him. And you’ll have no one left but me.”The sound of the engine stopped, replaced by the crunch of boots on floor. Victor was here. Olivia’s heart swelled wi

Her eyes locked on Leo as he staggers backward, his hand holding his side where blood comes out through his shirt.But Leo didn’t fall.With a wild growl, he pushed forward, his grip on the knife tightens. His eyes burned with rage, the kind of madness that ignored pain and reason.Victor raised his gun again, steady and calm. “Leo, don’t make me fire again,” he warned, his voice low and filled with authority.But Leo didn’t stop.Olivia’s PerspectiveFrom her position behind Victor, Olivia’s body shook uncontrollably.

The corridor was weirdly silent as Olivia crept back to her room, her heart hammering in her chest. Victor’s words replayed in her mind: “If she finds out the truth about her father, it’ll ruin everything.”What truth?Olivia knew she couldn’t confront him right away. Victor Castellano wasn’t the kind of man you could ask questions with and expect honest answers. No, she’d have to play this carefully.When she reached her room, she locked the door behind her and laid onto the bed, her heart racing.She needed to think. If Victor was hiding something about her father, it meant there was more to this story than she’d been led to believe. And if she wanted to get out of here, she’d have to figure out what it was.But how?Her eyes landed on her phone, still sitting on the nightstand. She picked it up, scrolling through her contacts. Most of her friends wouldn’t understand, what could they do against a man like Victor? But there was one person who might.Taking a deep breath, she dialed t
HARSH Chapter 2: Into the Cage [Special]
The car sent by Victor Castellano arrived at Olivia’s house precisely at 7 AM the next morning, its black exterior glowing beautifully in the sunlight. She stood on the doorway; her bag clutched tightly in her hands. Her mother hovered behind her; concern etched on her face.“You don’t have to do this,” her mother whispered, placing a shaking hand on Olivia’s shoulder.“I do,” Olivia replied, her voice steadier. “It’s the only way to protect us.”The driver, a man in a suit, stepped out and opened the car door for her. Olivia glanced back at her mother one last time, trying to ignore the aching feeling in her chest.“I’ll be okay,” she said, more to herself than her mother.She gets into the car, the door shutting with a heavy thud that seems to seal her fate.The ride to Victor’s house was silent. The driver didn’t say a word, his eyes were fixed on the road ahead. Olivia stared out of the window, her heart dropping as the city skyline gave way to countryside. After what felt like ho
HARSH Chapter 1 [Season 3 Starts]: Father's Debt [Special]
The light buzz of the streetlamp outside Olivia’s bedroom window was the only sound accompanying in the quiet night. She was sitting at her desk, the soft glow of her laptop illuminating her face as she stared at her unfinished college application essay. Her fingers hovers over the keyboard, the words refusing to come. Life had been complicated lately, too complicated for an eighteen-year-old.“Olivia, are you coming down for dinner?” her mother’s voice called from the hallway.“In a bit!” Olivia replied, not looking away from her screen.Her mother’s footsteps retreated, leaving her alone with the quiet sound of the laptop. The house feels emptier than ever since her father’s sudden disappearance two weeks ago. No explanation, no note… just gone. Her mother kept reassuring her that he’d return, but Olivia wasn’t sure. Her father wasn’t the type to leave without saying something.As she leaned back in her chair, the faint creak of the front gate caught her attention. She turned toward

The night was dangerously quiet as Victor double-checked the locks on the doors and windows of their home.Victor’s phone vibrated on the kitchen counter. He picked it up to find a message from an unknown number."Are you ready for the end, Victor? Tonight, we finish this."Victor’s blood ran cold. He knew exactly who it was. Samantha.The Final FightThe silence of the house was shattered by the sound of breaking glass. Victor grabbed the gun he had hidden in a drawer and rushed towards the living room. Olivia appeared at the top of the stairs.“Victor, what’s happening?” she whispered, panic in her voice.“Stay upstairs and lock the door,” Victor commanded.But before Olivia could move, Samantha stepped into the room, with a knife in her hand. Her wild eyes darted between Victor and Olivia.“You thought you could beat me?” Samantha sneered; her voice laced with venom. “You belong to me, Victor. Not her.”“Samantha, it’s over,” Victor said. “Put the knife down and leave.”Samantha le

Victor stepped in front of Olivia, shielding her from Samantha’s threatening presence. The knife was in her hands. Her eyes were wild and dangerously fixated on Victor.“Samantha,” Victor began, his voice steady but laced with warning, “put the knife down.”Her lips curled into a smirk. “Victor, I’ve waited years for this moment. You don’t get to give me orders.”Olivia clutched the edge of the blanket, her body shaking as Samantha took a step forward. Victor tightens his grip on the bat, positioning himself between her and Olivia.“Whatever you want, Samantha, you’re not getting it here. Leave now before you make things worse for yourself.”Her laugh was chilling. “Worse? Worse is living in a world where you rejected me, Victor. Where you chose her over me. I can’t let that slide.”Without warning, Samantha attacked at Victor, slashing the knife through the air. He dodged just in time, grabbing her wrist and twisting it until she dropped the blade. She screamed in anger, beating agai

It was Seraphina.Olivia’s heart raced as she stumbled to her feet, backing away from Seraphina, who stood in the middle of the bedroom, her emerald eyes glowing with a strange mix of curiosity and amusement.“What are you doing here?” Olivia asked, her voice shaking as she clutched the edge of the bedside table for support.Seraphina smiled, tilting her head as if amused by the question. “I could ask you the same thing, Olivia. You seem... uncomfortable. Are you afraid of me?”“Get out,” Olivia said firmly, though her voice lacked the strength she wished it had. “I’ll call the police if you don’t leave right now.”Seraphina took a step closer, her movements slow, as if she were enjoying the moment. “Oh, Olivia,” she murmured, her voice dripping with mockery. “You and I both know the police wouldn’t be of much help. I’m not here to hurt you. I just wanted to talk.”“Talk?” Olivia’s eyes went to the door, calculating her chances of escape. “You broke into my house to talk?”Seraphina l
HARSH Chapter 109: Past’s Healing [Season 2 Ongoing]
The warm morning sunlight enters through the large windows of their home, but it couldn’t seem to touch Olivia’s heart. She was sitting on the bed, her fingers brushing over the light scars on her wrists from the ropes that once bound her. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Leo’s face… his obsession, his touch and his twisted love. It haunted her, even though she knew he was gone from their lives.Victor enters the room quietly, carrying a tray with breakfast. His movements were careful, almost hesitant, as if afraid one wrong word or gesture might shatter her fragile state.“Good morning,” he said softly, placing the tray on the bedside table. Olivia didn’t respond immediately. She looked at the tray, noticing how he’d prepared everything she liked… pancakes with syrup, fresh berries, and her favorite tea. But the thought of eating made her stomach ache.Victor sat down beside her; his expression filled with concern. “You need to eat, Olivia. You’re not taking care of yourself;

Olivia’s breath stuck as Leo’s dark figure stepped further into the bedroom. The light glow of the moonlight illuminated on his face, and his obsidian eyes burned with a dangerous power.“Leo,” she whispered, her voice cracking with fear. “What are you doing here? How did you get in?”Leo’s lips curved into a sinister smile. “Locks can’t keep me away from you, Olivia. You should know that by now.”She backed away, but he was too quick, closing the distance between them in a single stride. His hand grabbed her wrist, his grip was bruising, tight.“You don’t belong with him,” Leo growled, with obsession. “You belong to me.”“Let go of me!” Olivia struggled, her free hand pushing at his chest, but he was unrelenting.Leo cupped her face with his other hand, his eyes burning. “I’ve waited long enough. You can’t keep running away from me.”Before she could respond, his lips crashed against hers in a forceful and dominating kiss. Olivia’s muffled protests turned into furious resistance as s

Olivia’s breath hitched, her back pressed against the cold tiled wall. The sound of her heartbeat thundered in her ears as she stared at the frosted window, now dark and ominous. The shadow she had seen a moment ago was gone, but the sense of danger remained.“Victor!” she screamed, her voice echoing in the small bathroom.She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself, her shaking hands struggling to keep it secure. The door burst open a moment later, and Victor appeared, his expression was sharp with concern.“What happened?” he asked, seeing the room for any sign of danger.“There was… someone outside the window,” Olivia stammered, pointing with a trembling finger.Victor crossed the room in two steps and yanked the curtain aside, peering into the night. The backyard was empty, the light glow of the streetlamp casting long shadows across the grass.“No one’s there now,”
